ETK-2026-2444Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
cdxgen standalone binaries and container images with vulnerable bundled Node.js or Bun runtimes are affected; npm installations are affected only when run on an unpatched host runtime. An attacker who supplies a scanned repository or can send requests to an exposed cdxgen server may cause vulnerable Brotli decoding and potentially execute code.
mitigation
Upgrade standalone binaries and container images to cdxgen 12.8.9 or 13.5.0. Until upgraded, use npm-installed cdxgen with a patched Node.js runtime, restrict CDXGEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS, disable remote podspec downloads with COCOA_FULL_SCAN=false, and do not expose server mode to untrusted clients.
fixed in 12.8.9, 13.5.0
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
